You might recall anew"Command& Conquer"game being outed earlier this week, thanks to an apparently prematurely published website. NowElectronic Artshas formally confirmed it: there's a new"Command& Conquer"game coming from newcomer developer Victory Games.
In addition to leading the charge with a new AAA"C&C"release, Victory is also taking point on all EA strategy titles, as was previously revealed. The news comes from an interview with studio general manager Jon Van Caneghem posted on EA's"Command& Conquer"Blog, the same interview that appeared earlier this week in the premature publish."Victory Games was created to be the focal point for the creation of strategy games for the Games Label at EA,"he said."Our current focus is making a AAA Command& Conquer game, which I am very excited to be working on."
Caneghem doesn't reveal any of the new game's details other than that it is coming to PC. Development isn't just limited just that release however. Victory will also be working to further evolve the"C&C"franchise over time."Our general focus is on the future of 'Command& Conquer,'"Caneghem said"That means updating a lot of the core technology to create a stable base for future development, and leveraging that work on this first game."
As I noted earlier in the week, there are some interesting possibilities here."Command& Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight"shifted away somewhat from the series' core gameplay mechanics, and drew some criticism for it. While it's possible that Victory is simply working on another"Tiberian"or"Red Alert"game, I wouldn't be surprised to see something totally new. Perhaps even taking a page from Hollywood's reboot formula. If EA hopes to broaden the series' appeal, a fresh start would certainly offer new fans a more attractive point of entry.
